Statutory requires a four year gap in the ages of the parties. 800 273 7933 is my number if a problem arises. You can visit my website by clicking on www.garymooreattorneyatlaw.abn1.net/home.asp

Re: Statutory Rape

There is a gap period reqired of 4 years. I have seen people get indicted although the gap period was there. I am assuming you were only with her sexually from the age of 16 and up. You should be OK.
